Indie Revolver EXCLUSIVE: No One Expects the Sith Inquisition

A lot of information and images related to Star Wars: Episode VII are coming to light this week, and we’ve got just one more treat for you to enjoy over the weekend. We’re headed into definite spoiler territory now, so be warned – if you don’t want to know, now’s your chance to turn back!

If you haven’t yet, please head over to Latino Review and read their terrific writeup on the known plot points of the upcoming Star Wars sequel. There’s a lot of connective tissue (and wonderful surprises) there which make sense of a lot of what we’re seeing these days and over the coming weeks.

It’s true that the main villain of Episode VII is a Sith Inquisitor. He’s tall and thin and terrifyingly creepy, with glowing red eyes to match his red lightsaber. He’s got some robotic upgrades, like Vader – but no mask. The cybernetic bits weave in and out of him. He’s got a human upper lip, a steel jaw… and the robotic hand that JJ Abrams posted an image of. As LR mentioned, we’ll see flashbacks in this movie which will show us Princess Leia as a young girl and Vader’s involvement with the Sith during his prime. This inquisitor has a fascination Vader through the movie’s timeline as well though – just look how he stares at Vader’s shattered helmet in this image:

What use do you think the Sith might make of Vader’s decrepit armor after all these years? Might they clone him from his cells? Is this a second discarded set of armor, or a burnt shell from Luke’s funeral pyre? Reply below and let us know your thoughts.

What a great time to be a fan of Star Wars. May the force be with you!

I’m an internet troll. I know this. My life isn’t very good on account of the low intelligence I possess as well as the frustration from my drive-thru job. So in order to feel better I make disparaging comments on websites. It’s all I have in my life.

Please log my IP address and block me from commenting on this fine website. Thank you in advance.

What’s to be excited about? These plot details are just horrible. I can not believe the boneheaded, hamfisted ideas Abrams has thrown into this. And to think that he threw out the EU so that we could watch a third trilogy where everything in the second trilogy was turned to crap…Luke Skywalker a prisoner for 30 years. So no rebuilding the Jedi Order and his friends never came to find him. All makes perfect sense. Simply awful.
